700R4 Overdrive issues

My 87 Iroc-Z keeps shifting back and forth from drive to overdrive while driving at low speed, about 20-40 mph. It dosen't do it at faster speeds. If I shift it manually through the gears it doesn't do it. Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this.

Re: 700R4 Overdrive issues

My first guess would be that your TV cable needs adjustment / replacement.

Probably explains why it works when you manually shift it... I got that problem with my cavalier... It's annoying as hell i feel ur pain lol..

What does it look like? How do you go about adjusting it, and how much?

Re: 700R4 Overdrive issues

Really only one way to reset the TV cable. Not intended to be 'adjustable'. But it does sound like a low line pressure rise, so readjust it as instructed and try it out.
But that issue is an inherent problem and a shift correction kit from Superior or ProBuilt should fix the issue permanently
